Draw the image of triangle ABC under a dilation whose center is p and scale factor is 1/4

Let the point P is origin (0, 0), segment AB lies on the x-axis and segment PC on the y-axis,

Coordinates of A, B and C will be (1, 0), (2, 0) and (0, 2).

When triangle ABC is dilated by a scale factor 4 about the origin,

Rule for dilation;

(x, y) → (4x, 4y)

New coordinates of the points A, B and C will be,

A(1, 0) → A'(4, 0)

B(-2, 0) → B'(-8, 0)

C(0, 2) → C'(0, 8)

By plotting points A', B' and C' we can get the dilated image A'B'C'.
